  • Video Killed the Martial Arts Star: Distribution Technologies and the Vagaries Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons Video Killed the Martial Arts Star: Distribution Technologies and the Vagaries of Jackie Chan Fandom in Japan (Paper presented at the Cult Cinema and Technological Change Conference, Aberystwyth University (Wales), April 15, 2014) Jackie Chan has been synonymous with Hong Kong cinema amongst mainstream Japanese moviegoers since he first appeared on movie screens in the late 1970s. Indeed, his popularity in 1980s Japan was such that apocryphal tales of his rabid Japanese female fan base punctuated Western reporting on the star in the 1990s, which seamlessly enfolded them in pre-existing media discourses of female fan hysteria. Thus, it is ironic that by the end of the 1980s, on the cusp of a widely reported, if niche, phenomenon of Japanese female fandom of Hong Kong stars, Chan had been all but relegated to the periphery of Hong Kong film fandom in Japan. This paper examines the rise and fall of Jackie Chan's star (persona) among Japanese female fans. In particular, I consider the ways that changing technologies and patterns of Hong Kong film consumption in Japan exposed fans to new stars and films, effectively sidelining Chan in the process. Only four Hong Kong films had received theatrical release in Japan prior to Bruce Lee’s arrival on Japanese screens in late 1973. To a film, these movies failed to make any lasting impression on Japanese audiences, the result of Japanese filmgoers’ indifference to films outside the Japan/Hollywood binary.1 This changed with the release of Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon in December 1973.

Stumbling across a crowded apartment complex aptly known as “Pig Sty Alley,” Sing attempts to extort money from one of the ordinary locals, but the neighbors are not what they appear. Sing’s comical attempts at intimidation inadvertently attract the Axe Gang into the fray, setting off a chain of events that brings the two disparate worlds face-to-face. As the inhabitants of the Pig Sty fight for their lives, the ensuing clash of kung fu titans unearths some legendary martial arts Masters. Sing, despite his futile attempts, lacks the soul of a killer, and must face his own mortality in order to discover the true nature of the kung fu master.
